![]() ‘Forever’ is supposed to be Judy Blume’s classic story of first love & first time between two college-bound high school seniors. However, I would hate my daughter to read this book one day and think that sort of interaction is acceptable between loving adults. I realize this book was written in a different time-several generations ago, actually. It didn't seem realistic and Michael was sometimes incredibly mean to Katherine. I also really had a problem with some of the ways the characters related with one another. Simple sentences and little in the way of suspense and guesswork as far as what would happen with the characters made the book completely predictable. ![]() The writing, however, was extremely juvenile. I like that she makes her own decision about how far she is willing to go with a guy she likes as well as taking responsibility for birth control. I like the message of her having open discussions with her mother about sex. ![]() I like the idea of a teenager taking command of her own body. I loved Judy Blume books when I was younger though, and this book was suggested to me as one of the books I needed to read before I die. Unlike most of the reviewers for this book, I had actually never read it before. ![]()
